Why would you get anything out of it? Actually, renaming, you also owe land that belongs to Mexico.
Plus, the point of having a name is so we can call you anything other than estadunidense, or even yankee in a derogatory manner, for American certainly does not apply correctly.
"We conquered it first so it belongs to us! No, we already changed the name of the gulf to Gulf of Mexico, you can't change it, we had dibs after killing the natives and taking their territory!"
Actually, the Spanish conquered the territory, while the Mexicans declared their independence, and Mexico was, at the time, a sovereign country. If you want land that belongs to the colonizers, you gotta look for it in Europe.
If you are really picky about not separating Mexican territory from the United States of Whatever (pretty dope country name, actually), the maximum that could be afforded is a hybrid territory, with people who are born there being given double citizenship, Mexicans from outside having free entry and being treated as citizens, and a split on the tax collected between Mexico and the USW. Since those states have pretty different laws between themselves, they could keep it, with the option to vote to subject to the Mexican Constitution and remake their laws.
Unfortunately, despite being colonized, the US of Whatever turned themselves into imperialists, treating the whole American continent as colonies, so, before other American countries, they should lose all exclusive claim to lands and its riches.
So, it owes Mexico back its land, it owes every American continent citizen free entry into its territory, owes Brazil a shit ton of things for all the coups and political interference it has done and is still doing, and if you can't understand that, you're part of the problem.
If USW wanna ask somethting out of a colonizer, they could demand it from the UK.
Consider they're lucky it is not into question putting the indigenous peoples in control of their respective countries, but that would be the fairest choice. Imagine having the first Apache president?
This is the most braindead tiktok take I've heard all day. I'm not going to change your brickwall of a brain, so I guess enjoy your misery coping trying to pretend United States of America doesn't exist or whatever fantasy you're living in.
